Miriam "Mae Mae" Burbank's two daughters told WGNO in New Orleans that their mother was "full of life" and that they wanted her funeral to be just as lively. A "last party" if you will. So they convinced funeral directors to help stage her body with all of her favorite things: Busch beer, menthols, crossword puzzles, disco lights, and tiny New Orleans Saints helmets.

I want a celebration instead of a mourning session, but I don't need to be present! Holy crap, that's creepy!

It's New Orleans. Funerals are a bit different there.

Rigor dissipates after several days. Then decomposition starts. I assume they embalmed the lady's remains well to allow for this real life version of "Weekend at Bernie's".
